Red Tails

"Blacks are mentally inferior and by nature subservient, and thus are unfit for combat" - 1925 U.S. Military study about the abilities of the airmen

George Lucas began developing Red Tails around 1988 but was unable to secure funding from any major studio, as any he approached believed that producing a film featuring an all black cast would be unmarketable. As a result, Lucas ended up funding the project with his own money, investing $58 million into the production of the film, and a further $35 million towards marketing.

I LOVED this movie! Seriously. It was really good. Usually, I do like and watch war movies, but if you make it based on true events, I'm in!
